Here is more evidence that we should not buy anything with ingredients from China.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) they have new evidence linking a contaminant to deaths and allergic reactions in patients who took the blood-thinner Heparin which were made with ingredients from China.
The adverse events have included allergic or hypersensitivity-type reactions, with symptoms such as low blood pressure, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain.
The FDA says new data from research showed the contaminant, over-sulfated chondroitin sulfate, could trigger side effects such as those reported in the deaths of 81 Heparin patients.
The Chinese are of course denying it's their fault but..............
FDA officials insist they tested the Heparin in question and found the contaminant, and what is more ten other countries had also detected over-sulfated chondroitin sulfate in samples of Heparin made with Chinese ingredients; they are Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand.
Say NO to CHINESE Ingredients

What will it take for humans to learn? This is so very sad.
We have been trying to not buy anything from China due to the way they treat people & animals and that some of their junk isn't safe.
But after doing research we figure some to the stuff we buy may have ingredients from China and we have no way of knowing cause they don't have to include that information on the label.
Poor Mommy she hates buying anything now a days; cause she says it's very hard to know where it came from.
This is so very sad!!!!! When SS was working in Hong Kong some years ago medical friends there told her that the medicines that were imported from China had very poor quality control but they were used widely because of the low prices. She was told to stick to brands from western countries and to get her supplies from large pharmacies in the city centre. She was sick for a long time during her stay there. She enjoyed her time there except for the health problems.
Mommeh saz dat der was a big heparin recall in da us. Acause, heparin iz used in da clinics too. It stops blood from clotting, and iz used for taking blood from da aminals. It doesna get injected inta dem, but jus incase, dem dr.s sent it back.
MoMo, we think Hong Kong would be an interesting place to visit. Actually we would like to be able to travel in China if things are ever straightened out there. It has a very interesting History.
Tesla, we are very glad the Dr's at the clinic sent it back. Like JFF said it is very sad .......... we hope no more beans or furries get sick because of contaminated medicine or food.
